Montreal

Arriving in Montreal late last night after a two-hour British Airways delay in London was a relief. We are staying with our friend, Canadian puppeteer, France Chevrette in a small town outside Montreal. France has done interesting work throughout Canada. In 1992, she accompanied our 'Puppets Against Aids' on its Canadian Tour to rural and urban areas throughout Canada. She continued the work afterwards, especially in northern Quebec, working with Inuit puppeteers for the Katavik School Board TV series in Inukjuak. Some of the videos of France's cabaret performances can be seen here!
